Flavouring

Many food products are manufactured in their base form onto which a variety of flavourants are added.

The base form provides the nutritional and bulk content of the food, while the flavours change the taste and smell of the product adding to its appeal. Examples of this are crackers and bread based products.

Flavourings are commonly mixed with a carrier oil to improve handling and application during the manufacturing process.

Flavours are not restricted to simple liquid additives but can also include particulates, which add to the texture as well as the taste of the product
